D no Arashi 2005.08.10

Team: Team SOS
Theme: I want to see a life's supply of ___!
Guest: Shimizu Michiko

Rather than sitting at the usual desk, the members were sitting in chairs in a random part of the studio. Sho was dressed like a bus driver, and Ohno was a FEMALE tour guide. When Aiba commented on their clothes, Sho explained that today they decided to wear private clothes. The reason they were dressed up like that was that the theme was to be a "tour" to see the various items.

(1) Toilet Paper
The public restroom was overflowing with rolls of toilet paper, in the urinal and toilet and everywhere. Aiba (of COURSE it was Aiba) knocked some rolls off a big stack and it was revealed that they couldn't get enough rolls so they filled up some of the space with cardboard boxes. Men use an average of 3.5 meters of toilet paper a day, and women use 12.5 meters. So in their life, women would use 6080 rolls.
Daily use of 12.5 meters X 365 days a year X 80 years ÷ 60 meters (the length of a roll) = 6080 rolls

(2) Eggs
While they were making predictions, Sho gave a hint: in its life, a chicken lays 1500 eggs. But that..has nothing to do with it.. There were about 26,300 eggs! (Though they couldn't actually get enough, so there were a lot of empty spaces in the egg cartons)
Daily use of about 0.9 eggs X 365 days a year X 80 years = 26,300 eggs

(3) Rice
Sho's hint this time was that the country that eats the most rice in the world is China. Japan ranks #9. Before showing the lifetime supply of it, they brought out a bowl with a month's amount, which was about 5kg. They couldn't bring the rice to the studio so they showed a VTR at a warehouse. There was about 5 tons of rice!
5kg of rice a month X 12 months X 80 years = 5 tons

(4) Miso
Still in the warehouse, they looked at miso, which was "only" 185kg. But really, you don't eat that much when you have miso soup or something.
6g a day X 365 days X 80 years = 185kg

(5) Condiments
First up, salt. It was 450kg! They poured it all out onto a big tarp and played with it for no good reason.
0.013kg a day X 365 days X 80 years = 450kg
Second, sugar. 1450kg!! That's a freaking lot!
Third, pepper. It was only 5kg, but I guess that's a lot anyway. They put it on a bowl of ramen, which of course Ohno ate.

(6) Shampoo
On the way down the hallway to the next room, Ohno passed by the door, oblivious, until Sho grabbed his arm and dragged him back. It was 192 liters.
7ml each use X 365 days X 75 years = 192l

(7) Underwear
Sho actually gave a real hint: a pair of underwear lasts about 80 washings. There were about 400 pairs. Nino said that if you bought a lifetime supply of underwear, as they started running out, you'd get really depressed.
365 days X 78 years ÷ 80 times washing = 400 pairs

(8) Farts
...Yes, farts. Sho informed them that the average amount of a fart is 150ml. They went into a room with plastic bags filled with airs. It was 36,500 liters of air! Aiba asked if they smelled. Sho said they didn't, but when Aiba smelled it he thought it stunk, so he asked what was in it. Sho, "Staff filled them up [with farts]."
Daily farting of 0.15 liters X 8 times (average number of farts a day) X 365 days X 80 years = 36,500 liters

(9) Hair
They showed a VTR of Sho and Ohno at a hair salon that had hair covering the entire floor. There was SO much! (I think it would have been funny if there had been random dyed hair in it too). They swept it all up so they could weigh it. 9.5kg! Back to the studio, they talked about women with really long hair. One lady said she had the longest hair in Japan. It was 140cm, which was about down to her ankles. She said that she stopped cutting it because going to get it cut was bothersome.

Sakurai Sho's Melon Picture Diary
A staff-ish guy called Sho up and made him come look at his plants quickly. When he did, they were all withering! Just the last week they looked so nice! They brought the watermelon to a plant store guy who explained that before plants (or maybe just watermelon plants?) get a chance to attach their roots well, they shouldn't be exposed to direct sunlight. So he had to move his plants to a less sunny place.

At the end, Michiko rated the segment. She gave Team SOS 3 Aibadges. After which Sho and Ohno awkwardly tried to high five and stuff.
